This begs the stupid question: Do you wear them on the inside or the outside of the sleave?

I just tuck my jeans into my socks and, rely on the build in elastic in the wristbands of my jacket.  Haven't had one get in yet.

Formulation for female deterrent:

1. Jeans tucked into the socks
2. Socks + sandals (aka, "Mandals")
3. Fannypack (florescent-colored works best).

INSTRUCTIONS: Combine for maximum efficacy.

SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Keep away from children. May result in laughter of nearby males, mocking, rude gestures, or failed sex life. If any of the above conditions persist, consult a clothier or tailor immediately. These warnings are void in Florida.

I guess I'm unusual.  I'm immune from all these warnings of the "SERGEN GENERAL".  At age 15, a "sex-life" doesn't exist.  The laughter part is quickly silenced given, I point out that I was just inspecting/working 5 colonies and, if they think they have a better suggestion...come and try it :wink: .  Of cource, I'm not wearing sandles or a "fanny pack".

Which expression is a better response?

"Hooray for maternal care-givers!"

or

"Old habits die hard."
